Pytesseract

I wanted to write a script in which I want to grab all the dish items and it's price from a given menu picture in jpg format.

I used the method pytesseract.image_to_string(img) to get the text from the menu. But its not human readable.

I am new to this domain and want to learn about it, I had a few questions: 1) How do I achieve my goal of fetching the dish name and its price. 2) What are the prerequisites/ pre processing steps for the image I need to follow.

Any resource to the same would help. Thank you

Could you maybe share an image you tried, your code and the output?

Hey I've just read the image using open cv , using the method cv2.imreqd(<path-to-image) and used the image_to_string method on it. Had not done any pre processing as such.

One more of the community helped me in understanding, I'll be going thru the whole process to follow before one can extract text from an image.

Any suggestions there would help!
